Indulge in a BBQ brisket salad topped with crispy onion rings for a meaty, comforting feast.
Ingredients
- • beef brisket: 2 lbs
- • BBQ sauce: 1 cup
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • mixed salad greens: 8 cups
- • cherry tomatoes (halved): 1 cup
- • red onion (sliced): 1/2 cup
- • cucumber (sliced): 1 cup
- • cheddar cheese (shredded): 1 cup
- • buttermilk: 1 cup
- • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • cornmeal: 1/2 cup
- • baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- • onion (sliced into rings): 1 large
- • vegetable oil: for frying
- • salt and pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- 2 Rub the beef brisket with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place it in a roasting pan, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 3 hours until fork-tender.
- 3 Once the brisket is cooked, remove from oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then, slice thinly and toss with BBQ sauce.
- 4 While the brisket is roasting, prepare the onion rings. In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Dip onion rings in buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture.
- 5 Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the onion rings until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- 6 To assemble the salad, arrange mixed greens on a large platter. Scatter cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber over the greens.
- 7 Top the salad with sliced BBQ brisket and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- 8 Finish with the crispy onion rings on top. Serve immediately, allowing diners to drizzle extra BBQ sauce if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • Pair this luscious salad with a side of warm cornbread or garlic bread to enhance the comforting experience. A chilled glass of sweet tea or a bold red wine, like a Zinfandel, complements the smoky, savory notes of the brisket beautifully. For a touch of freshness, add a squeeze of lime over the salad right before serving.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover brisket and salad components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The brisket will keep for up to 3 days, while the salad is best enjoyed fresh. To reheat the brisket, place it in a covered dish and warm in a low oven. The onion rings should be stored in a dry container and can be crisped up in an oven or air fryer before serving again.
